Silas Sticks to Walls

We finally found the sport that Silas' just chews up. He may not be focused on skateboarding or surfing, like Jasper, but this boy can stick to walls. He had been asking to climb a couple times recently so after Jasper's indoor soccer game on Sunday we walked across the street to the SF indoor climbing gym called Mission Cliffs. We got him shoes and stuck him on the rope and he went up at least 10 times. He would ask to come down if he needed a break and then jumped up the same climb finishing it. He went up steep and overhanging walls too. He also wanted to try the bigger walls down stairs and made it 3/4 up a long one after two tries. And most of all, he has finesse and grace, he looks natural as he shifts his weight around, moves his feet up, and finds the best route. Last night when we wrestled before bedtime, he tried climbing moves on me. His mind piecing it all together SO quickly.

SILAS SAYS: I climbed walls 30 feet high. I tried a climb a bigger wall. I almost got to the top. Big Wheeling used to be my favorite sport, but then I went to the climbing gym and climbing was my favorite sport. I will go back to the climbing gym because my dad went on a date with Jasper to Tahoe and now I get a date with my dad and its gonna be at the climbing gym. And at my birthday I am going to the climbing gym.
